Privy adds Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Solana embedded wallets. This new security feature requires users to verify transactions using methods like passkeys, authenticator apps, or SMS. It adds an extra layer of protection, making it harder for unauthorized access even if someone obtains the password.

How might this new MFA feature impact user adoption and security in the Solana ecosystem?

What are the potential advantages and drawbacks of using SMS for multi-factor authentication in crypto wallets?

The MFA feature enhances security for cryptocurrency wallets built into Solana-based apps. It's designed to make using these apps safer for users by requiring a second verification step before completing transactions. This update is part of Privy's ongoing efforts to improve their product and user security.
